Podere Fontemora, Casole d´Elsa Si, Italy

Description of Il Gelsomino

Enjoy your stay in this apartment in a former farmhouse (four apartments in total) located in the countryside of Casole d'Elsa, about 500 m from the historic centre of this little medieval town. This accommodation on the mezzanine floor comprises a large dining room with kitchen, a small living room with TV and sofa, two double bedrooms and two bathrooms (one with shower, the other with bath-tub). A private outdoor area with table, chairs and deck chairs is ideal for outdoor dining. Private barbecue; shared equipped pool and large garden. In the summer months many events take place in the centre of Casole, including a jazz festival and in July the horse race Palio di Casole. The good location is ideal for a relaxing holiday and a good starting point for trips to Siena (about 40 km), Florence (60 km) and Colle di Val d'Elsa (about 10 km), the town of Arnolfo di Cambio. The old town of Colle di Val d'Elsa with its narrow streets is well worth a visit. Enjoy here a nice dinner in one of the good restaurants (culinary events are organized in June). Do not miss to visit the fascinating Etruscan town of Volterra (30 km) and enjoy a bathing day by the sea of Cecina or Follonica (about 1 hour drive).
